This BMW S54 straight-six was rebuilt by Fletcher Made Horsepower in 2015 and is sold with a Tilton clutch, a Turner Motorsports custom-tuned Bosch SM4 engine management system, and a ZF 5-speed transmission built by Jim Blanton. The engine came from a 2001 BMW M Coupe acquired by the seller four years ago. A year later, the block received new pistons, rods, bearings, and a rebuilt cylinder head. Dynamometer testing in 2016 registered 417 horsepower and 313 lb-ft of torque at the crank. The rebuilt engine has since been driven 2,500 miles, a quarter of which was on the track. This powertrain package cost the seller over $18k to build is now being offered with $16k in additional parts and a bill of sale out of New Hampshire.

In 2015, Chris Fletcher of Fletcher Made Horsepower was commissioned to build this S54 race engine. $17k in parts included: an OEM crankshaft which was custom ground to 3.4-liters and nitrated, an OEM baffled oil pan, as well as:

The ZF 5-speed manual transmission was built by Jim Blanton and has about 10k miles of use. It was mated to the engine before and after the rebuild. Also included are a Tilton 7 3/4″ ceramic clutch and flywheel, both of which were installed following the engine rebuild in 2015.

In 2016, a dynamometer measured the engine output at 417 horsepower. Engine management comes from the included Bosch SM4 ECU from Turner Motorsports.
